    The reasoning blocks are not stolen/mined from the internet at large directly. They’re the result of a lot of research, time, money, and expertise into creating a reasoning model. …

    I don’t understand what Apple 1-9 are. At first I thought it was M series chips but there is no M9 (yet)

    Being a world class talent is independent of financial situation.

    What about Inkling? It's a quite large model that for some reason isn't discussed much.

    Didn’t deepseek recently announce prices will go up significantly? Right now the US dominates everyone else in actual chips in data centers. So even if deepseek etc tries to underc…

    I also don’t understand why UBI is desirable. Putting everyone on welfare means everyone is poor. This won’t end well, and it’s certainly not the case that 99% of the population wi…

    Sure, but that doesn’t mean you understand the details of implementation.

    First, it’s more than breaking a terms of service. That language sounds very minimizing, as if the scale and effect is tiny. It’s basically espionage out in the open that bootstrap…

    Answered in a sister thread. Are you from Europe or South America? Or just asking on their behalf? They are allies of the US, which includes economic spheres of influence. The prem…

    For a number of reasons. First, whether we like it or not (generally not), a fuck ton of money has been invested in US AI companies, data centers, RLHF datasets amongst other datas…

    But when you lead there’s a level of trust in the people who are going to implement. You may still have a high level view of what’s going on, but that’s different from sweating the…

    Except it’s not just a dump of the internet, which Moonshot also did themselves (and probably used even more pirated content as laws in China are different without any recourse for…

    Unless you’re from mainland China, you should.

    I assume you don’t use any LLMs then

    The Chinese models poked and prodded better models for training data and to avoid having to pay humans to RLHF themselves. You can call it infringement, theft, whatever, but it’s q…

    The Chinese models are the result of just as many papers, GitHub repos, etc… AND the synthesized results of those.

    Comment #48983426

    Don’t forget that the Chinese models are also built on top of huge amounts of “stolen data” as well, beyond the distilled. So it’s basically all of the above. However, there’s no m…

    Comment #48983344

    Don’t forget it took that huge spend to publish the papers and get to the models we have. It’s not obvious that without them we’d have LLMs springing up out of China or anywhere el…

    Comment #48983294

    It’s in the same neighborhood but isn’t really apples to apples. Distilling LLMs is to take a synthesized result that comes from huge amounts of innovation and computation, while t…

    He didn’t start Tesla, he bought it. To his credit he probably saved it. But we also don’t have the counter factual. “Because of his political views” This is a beyond charitable ta…

    I totally get the speculative aspect. However, the entire premise of them making money off software engineering is predicated on a truthfulness of whether they use that data or not…

    It’s really not. Vim isn’t instrumental to Azure usage.

    If I were anthropic I’d force that too. They offer the harness and if they control the entire pipeline then they can optimize the entire experience. It doesn’t have to be nefarious…
